Hrithik Roshan
Hrithik Roshan, who plays a paraplaegic in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish, is shooting with a remote-controlled modernised wheel chair. This, even as the rest of the set erected at Mehboob Studios in Mumbai boasts of an old-world charm and depicts a lavish haveli. The actor, who started working on the film from July 30, is currently shooting scenes that require him to don a patient’s kurta with straps tied up to his back Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who joined him a week later after shooting portions for Raavan in Kerala, was spotted shooting in an Anarkali kurta with churidar. Eyewitnesses reveal that the two, who have been shooting some emotionally-intense scenes, were quite comfortable with each other. Earlier, the duo had been paired together in Dhoom:2 followed by Jodhaa Akbar and share quite a good working rapport.

Apart from his scenes with the pretty actress, Hrithik is also shooting scenes with Shernaz Patel, who is reportedly playing doctor to him. Bhansali, who is known for extravagant set detailing in his film, has booked the studio till January 2010, which is the time the film’s shooting is likely to wrap-up. However, the six-month schedule will see the unit taking a two-month break to shoot at an outdoor location.

Rani Mukerji’s field run
Rani Mukerji, who’s playing a cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!, had a rather unusual training pattern for her role. The actress started practising the game a good six months before the film went on the floors in Mumbai. But unlike most other amateurs who prefer to gain mastery on a single pitch, Rani went about training at different grounds across the city. In fact, in her bid to be a perfect, she kept at her cricket training even while shooting for the film across Delhi, Punjab and Mumbai! However, if there was one thing that stayed constant all through the training months, it’s her coach. An Indian women’s cricket team coach whose identity is being kept under wraps, she travelled with the actress across locations to closely monitor Rani’s cricketing prowess. Whether Rani has mastered her fours and sixes will be clear only once the film releases, but her new-toned figure is a sure testimony to all those ‘runs’.

hrithik rocks by dipayan banerjee on 2009-08-21 12:11:06.030325+05:30 i was delighted for the fact that hrithik shoots in a remote control chair.I feel that hrithik is a versatile actor and has always something new to give in every film.His role in guzarish looks very promising and would entertain his fans as much as he did in his earlier films.three cheers for hrithik from a die hard like me.
